The USSR couldn't do shit without US supplies. And while they did a lot, Britain was fucked without the US
Don't just believe everything an American textbook says. American and British supplies were of the worst quality, they were few, and most didn't even arrive until after Moskva battle. 45% of the total equipment given was given after 1942.
Britain was far from falling either (though this can be more attributed to American loans and brutal colonial policies valuing supplies to Britain over supplies to the native folk - I think most estimates have it as 2 million Indians killed from manmade hunger during the Second World War).
Advisor to Franklin Roosevelt, H. Hopkins: "I had never believed that our Lend Lease help had been the chief factor in the Soviet defeat of Hitler on the eastern front. That this had been done by the heroism and blood of the Russian Army."
Some stats (for 1941 to 1945 unless otherwise said):
Soviet small arms made: 29.1 million
Given to Russia from America and Britain: 152k
Soviet artillery systems made: 648k
Given to Russia from America and Britain: 9,400
Soviet tanks and other military land automobiles made: 133,000
Given to Russia from America and Britain: 12,000
Soviet military aircraft made: 141,000
Given to Russia from America and Britain: 18,300
Soviet flying fuel made: 6989k tonnes
Given to Russia from America and Britain: 2586k tonnes
30% Henry Ford's tyres were shipped to Germany 1939to1945 (as H. Ford was a known anti-Jew)
45% of American-British foreign equipment came after 1942 (and few during the most violent bits of Stalingrad).
Summer 1942, two convoys of supplies were sent to Russia. 21/72 ships even made it. No further convoys were sent until December.
Also, to say: these were just loans, paid back (by Russia, anyway) with interest and profit to America. In truth, America made great profit in the war selling to both sides.
How about I recruit you as a Russian patriot brainwashed who saved Europe 5 times?
